Girl Scouts at Home

Bring the exploration, fun and learning of Girl Scouts to your family even when circumstances are keeping Girl Scouts from meeting up in person. Afterall, Girl Scouts isn’t somewhere girls go or something they do—it’s who they are day in, day out. Use these self-guided, activities and resources to keep your girl, your troop, and your community connected.

The Great New Jersey Camp-in Camp-out
June 12-14, 2020

Join thousands of families across New Jersey for a weekend of camping fun, organized collaboratively with all four Girl Scout councils in New Jersey. You supply the at-home campsite; we’ll supply the virtual and off-line activities and inspiration for a whole weekend of camp fun—Girl Scout style. Register here for access to our private virtual platform plus a create-your-own-adventure guide for inspiration on how to prepare for a full schedule of events and activities both online and off. Campfire-sing-along! Astronomy! Games! Recipes! Skill-building!

There’s stuff for all ages, and your whole family is invited—you don’t even have to be a Girl Scout. We can’t wait to see you there.
